Maharashtra: A 50-year-old man has been arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch for allegedly impersonating a doctor for nearly 28 years and fraudulently diverting around Rs 10 crore in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds over the past three years. Investigators suspect the alleged racket may have operated across multiple states.

According to police, the accused allegedly used forged identity documents to project himself as a medical professional, organised medical camps, opened accounts in various banks, treated patients and built a network of contacts over the years.

Police said the alleged fraud came to light during the investigation of another cheating case, which led investigators to question the accused and uncover the purported impersonation.

During a search of the accused's residence in Juhu, the Crime Branch reportedly recovered several documents, including identity cards, a PAN card, visiting cards and certificates issued in the name under which he allegedly posed as a doctor. Medical equipment and treatment-related materials were also seized from the premises.

Investigators also recovered project reports and documents containing details of individuals and companies from Maharashtra and other states. The findings have led police to suspect that the alleged fraud extended beyond Maharashtra and involved the diversion of CSR funds through multiple entities. Preliminary investigation indicates that approximately Rs 10 crore may have been misappropriated over the last three years.

According to The Times of India, the accused was identified during the probe into a larger cheating racket, and investigators found that he had allegedly opened multiple bank accounts using forged documents and, along with his associates, diverted CSR funds. Police also stated that he had participated in medical camps and had developed contacts in Bollywood circles while allegedly posing as a doctor.

The accused has been booked under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the National Medical Commission Act, and the Medical Profession Act. The investigation is ongoing to identify other persons allegedly involved and determine the full extent of the suspected fraud.
